This week in La-La Land we are doing anything BUT a card. I love these little shadow box frames from Kaisercraft so I thought it would be fun to do one up for this challenge. It's always nice to get a challenge like this as I sadly don't take the time to do a lot "just for fun" - and this was certainly an enjoyable project for me to make. I hope you like it :)

Now how easy it THAT to play along to. I have used the GORGEOUS new plain version of Little Kitsune Anko - she's also available in a fancy version HERE. I chose the plain version to use because I have digitally paper pieced her kimono and hair ribbons and used the same digi paper as a background for my card. Her hair is decorated with flowers and I had some gorgeous flowers that looked a little cherry blossom-like to finish off.

This week in La-La Land we are making "Something Sweet". I thought this adorable new Shy Marci was the perfect choice for the sweetness element. I also loved this soft green and bright pink together, and after I threw in some pearls, flowers and a bow to amp up the design it was sweetness overload.

It's Day 2 of the inspiration using the new stamps and dies from La-La Land Crafts. Once again I've used one of my stained glass window digital papers from Tin Teddy - but this time to create a church window by adding it behind the new La-La Land Arched Window die. The fabulous Praying Marci stands perfectly in front of the window - making this a fabulous idea for a confirmation card.

Here's a reminder of what the full release looks like....

Woohooo it's time for another spectacular new release from La-La Land Crafts. There are 10 fabulous new stamps plus some amazing new dies to choose from. They are all available in our store HERE. Check them out....

Today I am introducing the very first paper Doll Luka - this little guy is a real angel. I found a set of gorgeous stained glass window digital papers from Tin Teddy and used one here for the background. Some white and gold elements came out to play and I finished off with a few flowers.

This weeks it's all about Buttons or Butterflies in La-La Land. I have made another mini double easel card - these are sooo much FUN! I have done a tutorial for these on the La-La Land blog HERE if you're interested in trying one yourself. This one has a bit of a Spring feel about it too with the colours going on. Shame it's Autumn here ;) The "flying" butterfly is attached by a thin strip of acetate. Just a hint - scuff up the area of your acetate you are planning on applying glue to - it makes it stcik better if it has something to grip to!

This Easter weekend there has been a party going on over at the Aurora Wings Facebook page to celebrate reaching 2,250 members. This gorgeous Daisy Sprite image is a freebie Mitzi is giving out for her fabulous fans and Facebook page members.

As a lucky DT member I got my hands on this little cutie early. Luckily for me it was one of those days when time, inspiration and motivation all aligned and I managed to have her printed off, coloured and on a card in less than 2 hours!!!! Unheard of for me - LOL. Thanx so much to Mitzi for the gorgeous inspiration she gives us all, and to my laundry who waited while I made the time to play ;)

Today I am happily playing along with a new release showcase of this gorgeous new image from Aurora Wings called Reverie. I have popped her onto a digi designer paper before printing her out - a technique I use often and LOVE as it adds a whole new dimension to the image. I had originally planned to use more "mothy" colours but then I figured this is fantasy art so I can do what I like. Practicality and realism play a little too much into my card making and I want to break out of the mold a little bit more.....baby steps though ;)

Today we are celebrating a fellow crafting friend's 40th birthday. She's an amazing woman - as can be seen by the number of my fellow crafters who are joining in this special hop. For my card I have used a gorgeous image from The East Wind called Pink Rose and Shimmer Chiffon.

Happy 40th Birthday Trudie Howard

Here is your blog hop - we adore you to bits and wanted to share the love with you
